Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children

Who We Are

At the Spine and Scoliosis Center, we’re here to help children and teens with spinal deformities reach for their dreams — whether that means gliding across a stage, scoring the winning goal, or just feeling more mobile and comfortable in whatever they decide to do.*

As world-renowned experts in pediatric orthopedics, we want kids to have the least amount of pain, discomfort and disruption to their lives as possible.

The Spine and Scoliosis Center is part of one of the top pediatric orthopedic practices in the world:

One of the “Best Children’s Hospitals” for pediatric orthopedics (according to U.S. News & World Report)

Experts in spinal surgery (including deformity correction and minimally invasive), as well as non-operative treatments

* Each child’s surgery is different, and some patients may not be able to perform complex movements or participate in all sporting activities after their procedure. Discuss with your doctor what activities may or may not be permitted after your individual procedure.
